Is it just me, or do you have to click when it starts for it to load? If i don't it just returns me to the desktop.

I assume it was reverted because it proved problematic in some situations. I hope it can be unreverted a running smoothly for all some day :)
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241

Maybe, in the (unlikely, since it seems to have mostly problems on Windows) case that someone fixes it.

Poor support for OpenGL in the Windows drivers is a big factor. ATI's OpenGL drivers would be number 2.

If I got it right nvidias new driver comes up with better OpenGL support:
Driver 280.26:
"Supports OpenGL 3.3 for GeForce 8-series and later GPUs.
Supports OpenGL 4.1 on GeForce 400 series and later GPUs.
Supports single GPU and NVIDIA SLI technology* on DirectX 9 and OpenGL."

I've been thinking about units that don't sit still at their destination and I think I have a good idea

if ([unit within x tiles of dest]) [don't bump other units];
or
if ([unit tries to bump me] && [bumping unit within x tiles of dest]) [don't move];

Not sure if this would work or not and I'm on a trip so I can't easily look for my self :( but its a idea
In general, if you see glowing, pulsating things in the game, you should click on them.

en-mass groups that wont work though, you'll end up with a whole lot of units around the edge of a large group still not within X tiles of destination bumping units also not within X tiles.

Perhaps also what could be taken in to account is to take in to look at the number of units in the group, to get what X tiles should be, in order to sure there are enough tiles to sit on?

Then what happens if you're not in a large, open place but rather valleys and canyons, X tiles from destination could be just the other side of a impassable ridge, accessible via another route. That being the case, another clause to make sure units dont stray more than X tiles away from destination in order to reach it and be still, would be required, and, that that would probably be a more suitable place for them than actually being X *tiles* away, just close enough.

And THEN...

etc

Mind: Blown.
